[RESOLVED-THANKS GREG!!]market issue-across the boards(please help?)

EDIT:
RESOLVED
THANKS GREG :-D
ok heres the scoop
i first starting noticed it today when just messing around trying diffferent apps (check out "spring ball" simple but fun!) the app downloaded, but upon completion, the market.vending force closed. i tried and retried and retried and no apps would install. thinking the issue was my rom, i did a fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
-regawmod
later in the day the issue started again. fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
-regawmod
again.
-regawmod
sick and tired of reflashing, i flashed fresh 2.0d in hopes to avoid the error. flash was sucessful, had fun themeing, market worked! once again, messing around with some new apps, the issue persisted. fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
again.
-fresh2.0d
again
-fresh2.0d
GOD DAMMIT. in hopes to correct whatever the issue was i flashed damages latest, thinking, hey, its the closest to stock thats available in regards to 2.1, shouldnt have any issues. issue STILL persists.
i posted the issue in flipz thread, with a confirmation of the same issue from another user, but no fix (mondays apparently arent dev days lol; FLIPZ WHERE ARE YOU?!)
information:
i have the latest prl and flipz pri. i have stock radio and latest recovery (green nexusbear :-D). the fact is, whatever rom i flash, in the BEGINNING i am able to download all my apps, but after about a half hour, everytime i download an app from the market, it finishes downloading, then the market force closes, and the app just sits there at "xxx sucessfully downloaded" no install at all. i can still install from my SD card. at the beginning of every flash, i admit i go on a huge deletion spree via root explorer, but i have done my research and know what is safe to remove, i dont think thats the issue; maaaybe it is?
normally i would post a logcat, but i cant download and install it to post it!
anymore confirmations of the same issue, any FIXES?
tia

i hate to bump, as much as you hate to see it, but i could really use some help on this one

This happened to me too several times. There's a very easy fix
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Uninstall Updates
Ta-da If you have an uninstaller app it's even easier!

For whatever reason, there is an update being installed to Vending.apk. It doesn't do anything except for break it. Market will still work (the way it's supposed to actually), you're not really uninstalling anything.
And yes, you did

hm. i do a few metamorphs upon initial flash of a rom (namely 3g icon over ev, and sometimes a lockscreen) could one of these be breaking them?
thank for the link. running damages latest, but dear GOD do i hate the stock rosie. espresso is my flavor
btw; your the one who got me completely addicted to metamorph: THANKS! i dont think many people see the benifits of it, and its too bad. it should DEFINATLY be our main scource for theming. really strips down the elements to personalize it to YOUR needs :-D i refuse to flash updates anymore for themes lol
okokok back on topic, im going to give it a test now and report back before the night is out.
thanks a ton greg!

No it couldn't. While the Rosie morphs DO edit com.htc.resources.apk (the same place where the 3g icon is) they don't touch the status bar icons, just the Rosie pngs in drawable-port-mdpi.
Glad I could be of help

rightright make sense, dumb question; the whole IDEA of metamorph is to only edit the specific files in the .thm right? der
thanks again, and like i said, ill report back later
off to customize
:-D

ok report
i wiped and reflashed damagecontrol
i let it sit for a few before installing anything
i installed a few apps, and it went great
BUT
as soon as i downloaded and installed metamorph and applied the 3g icon, the market force closed.
going in for your fix now, greg

greg buddy your fix worked like a charm :-D
i hope to see you over at the evo portal once its released
thanks!

Visual Voicemail on AOSP?

Wondering how one might get VVM (Visual Voicemail from Sprint/SenseUI) working on one of these ROMs.
(Specifically Using DarchDroid 2.7)
Someone (Decad3nce?) offered to possibly help with this on page 3 of Darchs newest ROM thread I believe. They mentioned that we should grab Sprint_Core.apk from DC, and then I assume the VVM apk (if I can find it).
I would assume since (at lease the Sprint_Core) are sys apps, that they cannot be "installed" like an app apk. Could I get specific instructions on how to get these installed on Darchdroid? I would assume through adb? (Only used this a few times...)
Since I have a nice nandroid BU I like, and on a fresh flash of DD (KangSlayer!), willing to experiment a bit.

lol, coming from the same forum asking the same question. i actually got one to install but as far as it working im not sure. i tried sending myself a message and it never came through. the one i was able to install is an older version i believe but ill attach it.

I sent Decad3nce a PM, perhaps he will find time to help us VVM addicts
(seriously the ONLY Hero feature I "can't live without". LOL)

lol. its weird but since flashing an aosp rom, it seems as though i get voicemails more often. its really annoying having to use the regular voicemail thing which is why im requesting a fix for VVM.

Ok, sorry about that. I was at the hospital(my great aunt). But, I'm throwing together a flashable for you and for anyone else. Just working out a kink.

oh wow, sorry hear. hope shes ok. thanks in advance.

im confused...are you putting the zip up because your nice, or because it takes more than just the .apk to make it work? id understand either way

i believes its because it take more than an apk for it to work. ive already tried installing one, and while it did work i couldnt receive messages.

Here's the flashable with a few changes to the database, apns_conf.xml, and build.prop. (essentially the changes that were made in DarchLegend to get this working).
Make sure you have your entire ROM already set up before flashing this.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. FLASH THE ATTACHED ZIP, IT CONTAINS ALL THE FILES YOU'LL NEED
Code:
The files will be flashed, or moved to the right places
2. INSTALL SPRINT_CORE.APK (Which is VVM)
Before doing this, check if you can find "voicemail" in your app drawer. If you can, you don't have to install. Some people's Voicemail doesn't show up so it requires the install.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app/
install Sprint_Core.apk /system/app/SprintVVM.apk
exit
3.CHANGE YOUR VOICEMAIL SETTINGS IN SETTINGS>CALL SETTINGS>VOICEMAIL
Code:
Put your phone number under carrier settings
it's as easy as...
FLASH, THEN INSTALL, THEN CHANGE SETTINGS
NOTE If you flashed yesterdays version, it changed your mod version to 2.6.4. It's not a huge deal, but it might mess with DSUpdater. So just flash this to get the right version.
SORRY!

So, to clearify I have to change the settings for my voicemail, then flash this and then finally install vvm?

roger, stand by 2 stand by

Worked for me as far as I can tell.
Only thing is, and I don't know if/how this is related, but I get a text from some weird number every time I get a call or voicemail now. I don't know if it's because of the ROM or this. It's really annoying and the text is mostly gibberish..

BTW, tell me if MMS works in the stock messaging app still? (should)

[MOD] Kill Battery Full Pop Up

my first method did not seem to kill the popup, so I went after the showFullChargePopup() method
itself and this morning woke up and did not find the battery full popup.
to recreate:
1. decompile/de-odex services.jar/odex
2. open "com\android\server\status\StatusBarPolicy.smali" in a text editor
find ".method private showFullChargePopup()V" about line 2779
and remove the entire method all of it from ".method private showFullChargePopup()V"
to .end method
and delete this line at about line 3441
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->showFullChargePopup()V
3. save, compile and re-odex as necessary
so what this does is completely strip the ability to show the popup
and the call to to the popup method.
stock UVJFD:

deoxed UVJFD:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/7j1xwd66po8mu9z/KillBatteryFullPopUp_UVJFD_deodex_clockwork.zip

Interesting! I'm going to wait for someone else to try it first though...

nice baksmali

Anyone brave enough to try it and throw some results up?

Well, I tried the odexed one. I seems to work! I HATE HATE HATE the popup.
No crashing issues or similar that I have seen so far. I'll report back if I find something.

Would it ne possible to get one that reverts back to stock? Or the commands to revert back to stock. Thanks in advance,
Russ

Installing now...

I never thought of decompiling and tweaking it. Good job

I just flashed the de-odex version and it sat on the "S" loading screen for about 2 minutes, but eventually booted and no force-closes yet
But it seems as though it's not really doing its job. I just got the popup.
EDIT: I'm too lazy to undo Voodoo just for so I can clear dalvik but I'd like to add that even though the popup still rears its ugly head, it only shows up once Which is actually fine with me I just didn't like it popping up repeatedly when I was trying to do stuff on the phone and left it plugged in.

I still got the Battery Full pop up on mine after installing this.

Why don't you try it and tell us?

Awww...sad... I got a popup. Nice try though. Hopefully you can get it working.

Still got a pop-up on stock f/w. Trying the deoxed version.

deodexed version didn't work either.

I am absolutely sure it works, see attached image
try clearing dalvik-cache and rebooting a few times.

Running Franken-Twiz and it didn't work for me. Let me know if there's any logs or info I can give to help troubleshoot this as I really want it working.

Hmmm, also not able to get this to work.
I tried your packaged services.jar, and I tried editing the smali file myself, and I see the message in the debug log saying the process was "KILLED" but I still get the battery popup too.
Anyway, great progress already, I'm sure we'll get this figured out for everyone soon enough.
Cheers

I just flashed it and cleared cache and dalv. cache, ill report back tomorrow if it worked or not, I am on frakin-twiz v3.

go back to stock 2.1 update the app from there, then backup the .apk (astro file explorer has a tool that allows you to do this) then install it in the other builds

which file is it in? I can't find it

its called com.core.apk or something like that im not sure where it hangs out

Yeah, it's something like that in system/app

sprint_core.apk in /system/app there may be an odex. i always rm NameOfApp.*
if you delete the apk it may cause problems(maybe. didnt for me but has for others). you also wont be notified of vm's. youll have to call to check. on a 2.1 rom, that is. thats how it worked for me anyway.
personally, my vm isnt working on my new device. like it never set itself up correctly. if anyone should happen to have a link to some instructions to set this up, that would be fantastic. I hate calling the silly people at sprint. thank you

it didnt work. i removed the original, flashed yours. still have the undelivered message, the activation message. nothing is working, i cant figure it out. and when i called sprint, they reset my vm, so i lost messages and had to set up everything again...

FYI to Impaler, your VVM version in your sig works for those in areas where an official update has not rolled through yet.
Don't know if you are aware, but Sprint recently updated the VVM software to version T.5.1.0.48 (here in TX it was updated the last week of October). Note that Sprint CSR will not be able to help you reset it unless you are on a Sense ROM. Period.
Two options to fix on your non-Sense ROM... there is an updated .apk floating around on these boards (might need to PM someone for it). Get it and install via your file manager.
Or...
Other way is to nandroid your current ROM, then flash a Sense ROM like Fresh's most current. Then, update your PRL and Profile, then go into the VVM and press Menu and update Sprint VVM.
Then, either try to nandroid back to your original ROM and check to see if that does it (haven't tried that, but it might work)... or else... yes, you will need to pull the updated com.coremobility.app.vnotes from the Sense ROM and install the pulled .apk into your new ROM.
Hope this helps.

mr. implaler, I have used yours for the last weeks successfully, so thank you. I just ran into the same problem with the mandatory upgrade, and it is an update i did before I rooted my phone. the VM did work this morning on MUIU but i loaded MYN and that is when my issue started.
Hope someone can firgure it out
thanks again implaler

I had 9016 in the blocked texts list. Hope this helps you.

Excellent...let me add to this...
I suppose using variations of ROMS that don't include VVM and block 9016 caused this issue.
You can unblock 9016 by going to your account online, under "My Devices," then "My Preferences." Scroll down to the "Limits and permissions" section. You will see the "Block Texts" link there.

[Q] Twingerbread Camera Issue

I would post this in the Android Development, but cannot since i have not posted much.
Aaaaanyway, seen an issue that other are having with the rom that I would like to fix if I can. Camera will not go into video recording as it FC's every time. Same with if you try barcode scanner and the likes.
So far I have reflashed, deleted email.apk, camera.apk, camerafirmware.apk, tried hacked camera.apk, stock.apk, blah blah.
Wondering if someone found a different cause and or solution.
Was using Serendipity but not sure I ever noticed if it was aproblem since I barely use these functions these days.
Was fine when it was stock (way back when).

Since you have deleted Email.apk you are having this problem. Advice you to not delete apps that are needed for the ROM to function properly

Sorry..
Misunderstood.
I noticed that in your thread to give it a try, that it worked for some people so I did, not that it happened after I did.
Wow that sentence looks retarded.
Lets try it again. Had the camera and barcode issues THEN tried the above.

Ok let me take a step back. Do you mean that just after a fresh install you are facing this problem? I mean you havent restored apps+data using Tibu etc?
Edit: people who had problem either deleted Email.apk or CameraFirmware.apk and thats what my first impression was

Oops, misunderstood that post on the email delete.
Anyway, I have reflashed with no luck to the fix.

I am running the same version 3.3 right now a fresh flash and just recorded a video.. Let me know if you used Tibu to restore apps+data.. thats my next guess

Yes
Correct. Issue still after re-flash, no TiBu yet.
On a seperate note, I really like the rom. Looking forward to the possible blue theme. Came from Serendipity which I liked as well.
Don't necessarily need these functions (I barely use them), I just like to have things fixed.

Ok now one last thing that i can try would be to request you to download the ROM package again.. ODIN back to JF6 for a fresh install.. Flash the fresh downloaded package and see what happens.. you may have a bad download is my last guess

Will do
I will try another re-flash.
What do you thing Tibu is messing with (if that is it)?

it might just affect if by mistake any system app or data is included in the list which can cause camera to FC
EDIT: PM me if you cannot stil get camera to work. Would be happy to help

Still reflashing. I will let you know how it goes.
Again great work on the ROM. I am just being a perfectionist on something I barely use.

That did the trick. Maybe bad download.
I will also have to be more selective on what I let TiBu restore.
Thanks and keep up the good work. Again looking forward to Bluebread.

Alright now keep enjoying 3.3 till you see a 4.0 coming your way, and a blue theme too

I have re-installed this ROM twice on my captivate sgh-i897 ... the video-camera does NOT work. period. moved on to continuum's rom, because ... the video camera works, for one.

Twingerbread is a nice rom, but has anyone thought about flashing to Apex (i think 5.2 is the latest). Unless i am wrong, it replaced Twingerbread.
If I am wrong, PLEASE don't start calling me an idiot. I do sometimes get facts mixed up.

you mean you installed ApeX 5.2 and without restoring your apps + data with TiBU camera wasnt working for you? I have heard this problem before and everytime it was restoring apps+data using TiBU that was causing issue.. or let me know if you have deleted email.apk?

Does the same thing happen if another backup app is used? I've used My Backup Root since I started flashing, and I've never experienced anything look that(and I ran Apex 5.1 for about a week before going to Continuum v4).
